Who Should Use Medisign Glucometer MM8800

🚫 Limitations and Cautions

A glucometer cannot diagnose diabetes, and insulin or medicine doses should not change from one reading without medical advice. Check the insert for conditions that affect glucose oxidase strips, such as oxygen therapy, high altitude, severe dehydration or abnormal hematocrit [CONFIRM]. Never share lancets or lancing devices.

💊 How to Test Blood Sugar with Medisign Glucometer MM8800

1.     Wash Hands: Wash and dry your hands; sugar on the skin can falsely raise a reading.

2.     Insert a Strip: Insert a new Medisign MS-1 test strip into the meter.

3.     Get a Blood Drop: Prick the side of a clean fingertip with a new Medisign lancet in the lancing device.

4.     Apply Blood: Touch the blood drop to the strip as directed and wait for the reading.

5.     Record and Dispose: Record the result with the time and meal timing, then discard the strip and lancet in a sharps container.

⚠️ Understanding Your Results

For most non-pregnant adults with diabetes, American Diabetes Association targets are below; your doctor sets your personal target.

Below 70 mg/dL, take about 15 g of fast-acting carbohydrate and re-check in 15 minutes. Repeat unexpected readings and report repeated highs or lows to your doctor.

🏠 Care and Storage

Store the meter and strips cool and dry, close the strip vial immediately after use, and use strips before the expiry date. Check the strip insert for open-vial life [CONFIRM]. Keep out of reach of children.
